Thanks for the insight, I'll be leasing the R350 or R500 for my wife, getting rid of her 05 Caravan and my 05 H2. After I get the Mercedes I'll look for something for myself. I like the new CLS 550, but I also like the Corvette Z06.

The $7000 is "factory to dealer" cash. It is not a rebate to the retail consumer. You will find this information under Edmunds.com, new cars, incentives and rebates, Mercedes R class. Interestingly, kbb.com does not publish this very vital information. It is the dealer's discretion as to how much he will use to make the deal. In both Southern and Northern California, every dealer that I have dealt is reducing the retail price by that amount, plus anywhere from $6000 to $7000 on top of that, for total discounts off of MSRP in the range of $12,000 to $14,000. If you are a potential lessee, these large discounts off of MSRP set up a great situation wherein your residual value is only a bit more than your selling price, reducing your overall lease costs substantially. Welcome to the new world of car buying and leasing and welcome to Edmunds forum!

Has anyone bought and removed the second floor console?

What does the floor look like underneath? We are about to lease and my wife wants to lease one with a console and then remove it so that it will be easier for my children to get in the back seat. Does this make any sense?

Are you talking about the R350? If yes, have you test driven it? My children have no problem getting in and out to the back seat of the car. This car is design to fit perfectly for everyone whether they are in the front or the back of the car.

Yes. You see, we have 4 year old twins, both in booster seats. Flipping the seats forward so our seven year old can get in the back, won't do ( I think. We are going tomorrow to see what happens if we try to flip the seat forwards with a booster seat on it.)
The second row seats when the car is ordered without the console have arm rests that essentially block the "aisle".
The second row seats when ordered with the console have no arm rests. I'm thinking...take out the console and without the armrests there is an 8 or 10 inch "aisle" that our skinny seven year old daughter can sidle through to the back seat.
Does that make any sense?

I have the same issue with access to the 3rd row. Instead of ordering a middle console I was wondering if the arm rests from the second row seats can be removed? Has anyone done this ? and if so how?
